Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are packing their bags for the Big Apple! On October 9th, 2025, the Sussexes will receive Project Healthy Minds’ Humanitarians of the Year Award at the World Mental Health Day Gala in New York City. The honor recognizes their efforts to make the digital world safer for kids and to champion global mental wellness.
Since the launch of their Archewell Foundation in 2020, the couple has leaned into advocacy. In 2023, they debuted Parents’ Network at the Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival, giving families tools to fight online harm. In a statement, the couple said, “Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives.” As parents to Archie and Lilibet, the mission hits home for them.
But Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren’t stopping at the gala! On October 10th, they’ll join the nonprofit’s annual World Mental Health Day festival. In there, their Archewell Foundation will also display The Lost Screen Memorial, first revealed in April, honoring children lost to the dangers of social media. The festival will also feature discussions with mental health leaders like Deepak Chopra, Jonathan Haidt, and Dr. Becky Kennedy.
